Amanda Spratt: 'I felt like I was on fire. And not in a good way' - Domestique Hotseat Podcast
Amanda Spratt steps into the Domestique Hotseat with Aidan Burgess for an honest conversation about everything from crashing at the Tour de France to out-sprinting boys on BMX bikes as a kid. We cover her proud but painful push through the pro ranks, and why the sport feels “like chalk and cheese” compared to when she started.
She shares what keeps her going, even when the power numbers say “personal best” but the result sheet says “not enough.” We also talk about the future of women’s racing, dangerous rule changes, Italian teammates learning Aussie slang, and her goals for the Giro Donne.
